hey there, great looking kegerator. i'm drooling.... and trying to build my own. i bought the same model fridge (GE 4.5 cu. ft.) and am testing it out before cutting it up. the refrigerator has been on and empty for 24hrs. it's cold but it clicks on every 20minutes. this seems like a...

thanks for the advice! it turns out that the zip-lock bag with the kent goldings has been open instead of sealed for the last ~year.:eek: i smelled them (no aroma at all) and tasted them (bitter with no floral at all) so i tossed them. i smell-compared the cascade and saaz and chose to put ~1/4...

hey y'all, i'm not a major hop-head but love to experiment so i'm going to separate 1 gallon of a 5 gallon batch of honey blond ale and dry hop it. the extract recipe basically started with light malt, rice sugar, and honey with very light hopping. my question is, which hop would be...

hay all, help me, it's stuck! my first mead is fermenting way too slow. here're my gravities: OG ~ 1.1 1month G ~ 1.07 2months G ~ 1.055 (rack to 2ndary) 4months G ~ 1.045 is it ok to repitch? any precautions i should take? edit: actually, i just read hightest's faq regarding...

hey all, here's an update to my slow fermenting mead. OG ~ 1.1 1month G ~ 1.07 2months G ~ 1.055 4months G ~ 1.045 gravity is going down but obviously much slower than it's supposed to. i'm planning on pitching another round of mead yeast. does this sound like a reasonable thing to do?

whao!! daily??? i guess i'm stuck in my beery ways. thanks for the meed-ucation. should i oxygenate or just shake it up? for beer you want to avoid oxygen after fermentation starts. is it very different for mead? i did give it a shake several times but certainly not daily. thanks!

wait a minute. the fermaid k i used supposedly has DAP in it already! i don't really know how much though. is there a danger of DAP overloading ?

allright! thank you both for the replies. hightest, if i add DAP, should i also add more of the other nutrients (GO-ferm or fermaid K)? and by the way, thanks for keeping me honest with the beer calculus site. i'm actually a scientist during the day so i'm well aware of the dangers of...

hi all, i have to admit that i'm a beer brewer and this is my first attempt and the sweet honey elixer. so i mixed up a meed kit from "more beer" and sweetened it up a bit. - 4 gal batch (set aside 5th gal for funky experimentation) - 12 lbs honey - bit of yeast nutrient (GO-ferm and...

howdy, i may've pitched too hot or killed the yeasties trying to make a starter. in any case, if no fermentation starts in my sweet milk stout after ~3 days, i'm going to repitch. this is an extract kit from northern brewer. it came with wyeast 1028 london ale yeast. the replacements i...
